Wild West 9a by Vojta Trojan

Vojta Trojan, who previously has sent seven 9aโ€™s, has done the fourth ascent of Tom Bolgerโ€™s Wild West (9a) in Margalef. โ€Hard bouldery start, then endurance leading into a last crux under the anchor. Very cool route.. 9a/a+ feels right for me - as it's much harder then the left exit.โ€ (c) Jan Erben

Can you tell us more about the ascent? Since I was in Margalef in November and sent the left exit, Wild Publico (9a), I wanted to finish this hardest and purest version of the route, as I got back here after Christmas. It took me way longer than I thought and I'm glad, that the one perfect condition day saved my ass and I could clip the anchor.

The route took me 6 days (1-2 tries a day) to finish, + I knew the start moves from Wild Publico. Thanks to Tom for bolting the start and opening this quite new and very cool route as well as many others!
